Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1328

Jonathan whipped up four dishes with the limited ingredients they had. The wine Charlie brought over last time was still unfinished, so they all sat down for a meal and some chitchat.

Throughout dinner, Charlie was all over Kya—patient and attentive—and Kya seemed to rely on him.

Suddenly, Estelle had this feeling that Charlie was turning into quite the dad. Unknowingly, he was providing Kya with some fatherly love.

After dinner, Jonathan and Charlie had a chat while Estelle and Emily listened to the sound of rain on the balcony.

Night rain in J City always had a way to calm the soul.

Charlie suddenly popped the question, "Do we have any playing cards? Let's have a game."

Emily replied, "There's a deck left by previous tenants. Never bothered to throw them out."

"Great, fetch them! Let's play some poker!" Charlie laughed.

Emily went to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out the deck of cards.

They all returned to the living room and sat around the table. "What are we playing?" Charlie asked.

Jonathan suggested, "We can play Bridge with four players!"

"Bridge it is; it's simpler!" Charlie shuffled the cards, placed them on the table, and said with a smile, "I'll team up with Emily, and you guys be a team. Let's roll!"

The adorable Kya asked, "Who am I teaming up with?"

Everyone laughed at her innocent tone.

Charlie held Kya in his arms and softly said, "Kya, you're with me, okay?"

"Okay!" Kya happily agreed.

Emily mumbled, "I don't know how to play; I'll be winging it. Don't blame me if I slow us down!"

"No worries," Charlie laughed, "they've got a rookie too."

Estelle knew he was referring to her.

Every time they played cards at gatherings, without Jonathan guiding her, she would be the one losing the most.

She didn't know why she was always bad at card games, or any games, to be honest.

Could it be that her training from childhood hindered her progress in these intellectual activities?
